Footnotes

Argonauts of the South, liberally illustrated with photographs by Hurley - described by Rosove "as one of the great Antarctic photographers of all time" - gives an account of Mawson's Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911-14), and Shackleton's Endurance expedition, 1914-16, on both of which Hurley served. The story of his saving his negative photographic plates from the sinking Endurance, and preserving only selected plates until they could return to civilization, is well known. Many of his best known images are present in this book.
